等待:一种普遍时间体验的社会学阐析

Waiting:A Sociological Expression of General Temporal Experiences

沿着时间社会学长期以来专注时间体验的研究取向,本文以等待为线索,试图处理社会时间理论中主体性不足的困境。通过回溯等待这一时间体验的理论基础,本文考察了等待的双重属性,也即他者指涉的社会性和自我指涉的主体性,进而揭示出等待中希望的生产在桥接时间、自我与他人方面所具的社会意义。本文为社会时间框架下消极的主体正名,并建立了一种兼顾社会时间的社会性与主体性的分析路径。

Drawing on the traditional research approach of sociology of time that focuses on temporal experience,this article explores the dilemma of lacking subjectivity in the theory of social time by focusing on waiting.Tracing back the theoretical foundations of waiting as temporal experience,this article explores the dual attributes of waiting,i.e.,the sociality of other-reference and the subjectivity of self-reference,thereby revealing the social significance of the hope in waiting in bridging time,self,and the others.By justifying the negative subject within the framework of social time,this article establishes an analytical approach that balances the sociality and subjectivity of social time.
